Tone: Cautiously Optimistic

Management expressed cautious optimism about the quarter's EPS performance, attributing it to favorable timing and lower protein inflation. However, they anticipate a decline in organic sales for Q2 and have raised their inflation outlook.

The company expects Q2 organic sales to decline by 2% due to seasonality and elasticity assumptions.

Management raised the inflation outlook for the year to the high end of 5%-6%, influenced by increased transportation costs.
